Becoming a Collaborative Partner in Supervision

A workbook for therapists who want to take an active role in their clinical growth.

How do you turn supervision into meaningful change in your work with clients?

This workbook offers a practical framework for approaching supervision with greater awareness, preparation, and intention. Organized around five steps—Pause, Pinpoint, Prepare, Practice, and Progress—it helps you reflect on your reactions, identify learning needs, ask focused questions, and turn feedback into specific actions.

Inside, you’ll find reflection prompts, examples, and tools to help you:

  • Explore personal patterns that influence your clinical work.

  • Use client feedback and recordings to identify areas for growth.

  • Communicate your needs within the supervisory relationship.

  • Rehearse clinical skills and track your development.

  • Prepare for supervision and leave with a clear practice plan.

Designed for graduate trainees, registered interns, and therapists receiving supervision, this resource supports an active, collaborative approach to learning alongside your supervisor’s guidance and expertise.
